Application of Application-level Multicast in Streaming Media Over Internet
Zhao Wang · Microcomputer applications · 2006
In this paper,according to streaming media’s characteristic ,an architecture of application-level multicast for streaming media over Internet is developed. Moreover, I present a distributed algorithm to build a multicast tree in the application layer,in which the average receiving rate, computed over all receivers in the tree is maximized. In this architecture, a RP node is used, which can alleivate complex search , detect and repair node failures, and compensate for scalability by effective change of control messages exchanged between the RP and members.In this distributed algorithm,building a tree in accord ance with node’capability and maximun average incoming rate of receiver makes multicast tree stable 、robust and adaptive. I also describe how to estimate these variables that implement the algorithm.
